Channel modes

Channels may be in any of the following modes . Each mode responds
differently to your commands.

Captured channels

Captured channels are channels that you have selected and are live on
stage . They remain live until you press [Rel] to release them . Captured
channels override all other channel settings. For example, if a chan-
nel is in a fader at 100 percent and you capture it and set it to 50 per-
cent, Expression reads the 50 percent setting from the captured
channel.
You can capture channels while in either Stage or Fader mode, but not
Blind or Track Sheet modes since they are not live . Expression displays
captured channels in red and yellow on a color monitor . Red channels
are captured; yellow channels are captured and selected (see below).

Selected channels

Selected channels are channels that you have immediate keyboard
control over . You can modify selected channels with [Full], [At], [+], [-], or
the fader wheel . Selected channels are highlighted on a monochrome
monitor and are displayed in yellow on a color monitor . You can select
channels in all display modes .
Selected, captured channels are live channels that are under immediate
keyboard control . Channels can be selected and captured only in live
modes . You can select channels in Blind, but they won't be captured
since Blind mode is not live.
